Tesla relies on high margins, other automakers rely on volume.

Ford is in a much worse position than Tesla.

Ford for their current ICE lineup does rely heavily on volume and does appear to be in a hard spot.

Ford doesn't sell EVs yet. They have the Mach-E starting at $44k for 230mi launching in 2021. That does seem to have higher margins than a $40k Model 3.
